Sidewalk Snow

HELP KEEP OUR SIDEWALKS CLEAR THIS WINTER!

The City ordinance on snow/ice removal requires residents to remove ice and snow from sidewalks adjacent to their property within twelve (12) hours following a snow event. If snow or ice remains on any sidewalk for more than twenty-four (24) hours, the City may remove at the cost of the property owner.

You can help be a "snow angel" to keep our pedestrians and children safe by:

Removing snow and ice from all sidewalks adjacent to your property, including sidewalks on the side of your home/ business if you reside on a corner lot.

Ensure sidewalks are free of snow and ice within 12 hours of a storm event.

If you are unable to clear your sidewalk, ask a neighbor or family member for help. Or, to find snow removal services, search the internet for snow removal services or check with your neighborhood organization.

Offer to clear your neighbor's sidewalk if they are elderly, disabled, or simply unable to perform the task.

If a neighbor has repeatedly failed to clear their sidewalk, please contact the City Inspections office at 279-6138.

Review the City ordinance for more information regarding required clearing of snow/ice removal on sidewalks.

No person may deposit snow or ice from a private property on to a public highway, street, avenue, alley or park within the City.
